Summary

Sometimes the hardest battles take place in the heart。

Poverty and abuse at the hands of her drunkard father leaves Hannah Bane trapped and alone。 Without hope， she prays for a miracle just on the off-chance God will hear her。 Will the new deputy， who seems to be watching her every move， be Hannah’s one chance to escape the only life she’s ever known？

For as long as he can remember， John Mark Eliason has wanted to be a deputy sheriff。 When a job opens in the nearby town of Poplar Springs， he eagerly accepts， but finds his greatest mission won’t be tracking down criminals and bringing justice to the ruthless Wyoming town， but saving a woman he barely knows。

Will an unexpected answer to a difficult situation show how love can endure—and even thrive—in an unconventional situation？ Or will fear and uncertainty keep two hesitant hearts apart？

In the sequel to Forgotten Memories， award-winning author Penny Zeller weaves a tender tale of faith， romance， and humor in a memorable story that reminds us God hears every prayer and has a plan for every life。

I started Dreams of the Heart utterly heartbroken。 The life in which we find Hannah Bane is repulsive， and one that I couldn’t see wishing on my worst enemy。 Having to take care of an abusive father that resents her existence is both heartbreaking and infuriating。 I have zero tolerance for anyone that treats another human being like this！This sets the tone for a slower pace than what I was expecting， that holds palpable tension as you get your footing in this rough and tumble town。 John Mark is I started Dreams of the Heart utterly heartbroken。 The life in which we find Hannah Bane is repulsive， and one that I couldn’t see wishing on my worst enemy。 Having to take care of an abusive father that resents her existence is both heartbreaking and infuriating。 I have zero tolerance for anyone that treats another human being like this！This sets the tone for a slower pace than what I was expecting， that holds palpable tension as you get your footing in this rough and tumble town。 John Mark is the new deputy and a knight in shining armor for poor Hannah， rescuing her and showing her how good life can be away from the abuse。 In an era when mail order brides are not unheard of， marriage under a unique situation such as John Mark and Hannah’s isn’t too far fetched， and is more heroic than anything。The evil characters abound in this novel， as Poplar Springs， Wyoming seems to be a hotbed of depravity。 I growled and sneered at the book on several occasions， the selfishness and maliciousness of this group of men positively astounding。Though there is darkness that lurks throughout the novel there are bright spots as well， especially in the scenes with the Pearson family and the Eliason family。 They are the kinds of family that everyone dreams of。 Loving， supportive， and loyal their overwhelming kindness exudes off the pages and truly brings the sunshine。I got lost in this narrative， ebbing and flowing with emotions， as I witnessed Hannah and John Mark not only fighting for what is right， but exploring their own emotions and the new situation they found themselves in。 I know one thing， there is no way I could’ve lived in this time period， but I’m glad I can visit it in my imagination。*I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher through JustRead Tours。 All views and opinions expressed are completely honest， and my own。 。。。more

Sweet， sweet read！ I loved how the characters drew me into the story。 The author did an amazing job weaving a compelling story with relatable characters。My heart went put for Hannah。 I loves the Hero that John Mark was。 They fit so well。 Love， sacrifice， family and forgiveness were illustrated so beautifully。 I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion。

I enjoyed Dreams of the Heart。 Its deeply Christian themes combined well with the hard realities of an abused daughter， a crime-ridden town， the handsome lawman， and the adorable Grumbles。 （I particularly adored Grumbles the deputy pig。） If you like sweet Christian romances， add this one to your reading list。

In book one， Forgotten Memories， we meet John Mark as a child。 It is wonderful to see him as a grown man。 The town he grew up in was a wholesome town filled with good people。 The town in which he becomes a deputy sheriff is quite the opposite。 Watching this young man do his best to make a difference in a corrupt town reminds me of how we should be doing the same things wherever God has planted us。 Hannah's life up until she meets this young deputy is one that is hard to take。 She lived with a dr In book one， Forgotten Memories， we meet John Mark as a child。 It is wonderful to see him as a grown man。 The town he grew up in was a wholesome town filled with good people。 The town in which he becomes a deputy sheriff is quite the opposite。 Watching this young man do his best to make a difference in a corrupt town reminds me of how we should be doing the same things wherever God has planted us。 Hannah's life up until she meets this young deputy is one that is hard to take。 She lived with a drunkard father her entire childhood， mostly alone。 There were some that helped her in small ways but most turn a blind eye to other peoples hardships without ever realizing it。 John Mark didn't do that。 He saw her when no one else seemed to。 People finally realize AFTER John Mark does something that THEY should have stepped up and done more to help。 Despite the hardships she faces growing up， she clung to her faith and found strength everyday by reading her mother's bible。 She never stopped praying and never gave up！These two young people's love starts out so simple， just a friendship that grows into so much more。 I love how they pray that they can be what the other person needs them to be even before any feelings of love have begun to bloom。 They both go through some really tough things but find a strong support system of people， including each other， that help them overcome the hardships and heartaches。 This wonderful story had me really thinking about how I should approach things in my life。 Even when things are challenging， downright unfair and just plain wrong。 I read this book in about two days。 I did NOT want to stop reading。 I can't wait to read book 3！ 。。。more

Her father is an alcoholic and thief， who abuses herHer mother died when she was born and he blamed her。 Never made her feel safe。 Never made sure she had enough to eat。 She would sit outside downtown every night so she could drive him home。 And the sheriff watched out for her as well as he could。 And then he asked her to come live with him to protect her。 Seriously this is an amazing book。 100% loved it。I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。

From convenience to loveSet in the 1800’s Wyoming， this story is yet another fantastic read by Penny Zeller！ Bound by fear， Hannah lives with the daily abuse at the hands of her father。 Will she ever be free from the clutches of his drunken bouts of persecution？ Will God hear her constant prayers and deliver her？Deputy John Mark， what can I say！ His heart is bigger than his fear！ Determined to help Hannah out of her abusive situation， he goes against everything he’s been taught。 Will it be enoug From convenience to loveSet in the 1800’s Wyoming， this story is yet another fantastic read by Penny Zeller！ Bound by fear， Hannah lives with the daily abuse at the hands of her father。 Will she ever be free from the clutches of his drunken bouts of persecution？ Will God hear her constant prayers and deliver her？Deputy John Mark， what can I say！ His heart is bigger than his fear！ Determined to help Hannah out of her abusive situation， he goes against everything he’s been taught。 Will it be enough？This decorously written story is one that has captured my heart to say the least。 With a very strong faith theme， the author has done a very effective job of showing how to trust God in any situation！ I loved how the characters came to life on every page。 Whether friend or foe， I felt like I knew each one and felt the coinciding emotion throughout。 Though this is book 2 of the Wyoming Sunrise series， it can easily be read as a standalone and I highly recommend as it is a favorite of mine。I was given a complimentary copy by the author。 My opinion is my own。 。。。more

I have really been enjoying the Wyoming Sunrise series and this book focuses on John Mark Eliason， whom we met in Forgotten Memories when he was still in his youth and attending school。 Now he is an adult and the deputy of the town of Poplar Springs， Wyoming。 His heart for both compassion and justice was made evident through his actions toward the people in his town。 He displays such depth of character when he struggles with some of the decisions he’s made。 I liked the reappearance of his pastor I have really been enjoying the Wyoming Sunrise series and this book focuses on John Mark Eliason， whom we met in Forgotten Memories when he was still in his youth and attending school。 Now he is an adult and the deputy of the town of Poplar Springs， Wyoming。 His heart for both compassion and justice was made evident through his actions toward the people in his town。 He displays such depth of character when he struggles with some of the decisions he’s made。 I liked the reappearance of his pastor father Solomon in this story， as he provided wisdom and guidance to his son。 Shy Hannah Bane has lived a despondent life at the hands of her abusive father and it was heartening to read how she bloomed as the book progressed。 I love the uplifting spiritual messages I will find in a book by this author。 While serious themes are present in this story， there are several lighthearted moments that will evoke smiles and laughter。 I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher via Celebrate Lit Bloggers and Reviewers。 A positive review was not required and the opinions expressed here are mine alone。 。。。more

When a book captures your entire being， you know it is an inspired work from the very heart of the author。 Such was the case with this story as emotion after emotion engulfed my soul， my spirit， wanting a happy ending but not wanting it to end。 The message of Christ is creatively woven into the very fabric of the plot， reminding the reader time and again of the only answer to anything life brings。 I continue to be uplifted and encouraged as I follow this truly gifted novelist。

Another great book by Penny Zeller。This book kept me wanting to read to see what next。 There is so much in the book I would love to talk about but I don't want to give anything in the book away。 In the first chapters we meet Hannah who has a drunk abusive father。 He comes to town to drink and Hannah is expected to wait and take him home。 John Mark is now a deputy who has a caring heart for justice。Poplar Springs isn't the peaceful town John Mark grew up in。 There are outlaws robbing the stage co Another great book by Penny Zeller。This book kept me wanting to read to see what next。 There is so much in the book I would love to talk about but I don't want to give anything in the book away。 In the first chapters we meet Hannah who has a drunk abusive father。 He comes to town to drink and Hannah is expected to wait and take him home。 John Mark is now a deputy who has a caring heart for justice。Poplar Springs isn't the peaceful town John Mark grew up in。 There are outlaws robbing the stage coach， more saloons than a town needs and corruption happening。 John Mark wants to make a difference and feel called to help those in need。Early one Hannah is met by a small boy around 6 who asks for her help。 Ambrose Miller is being looked after by his grandfather and is poor due to circumstances but loved。 This scene made me laugh out loud when I was reading。 We see more of Ambrose as he has taken a liking to the Deputy John Mark and also Hannah。Hannah has been praying God would save her from her Pa and provide a way to leave。 John Mark can see that Hannah is in need of help but has no idea what is。 I won't tell how he helps because I don't want to spoil the story。You will be introduced Grumbles a fun pet pig and A contancous rooster （who seems to take a liking to some people）。 I think the series keeps getting better and eagerly await the next book in the series。 。。。more

Sequel to “Forgotten Memories”， Penny Zeller has another great story。 This time we get John Mark’s story！ He is a Deputy in Poplar Springs， Wyoming。 There he meets Hannah。 Hannah is the daughter of a drunk and gambler。 Hannah’s father is mean and doesn’t let her have any freedom let alone eat much and he hits her。 When John Mark overhears her father gambling her away to another bad guy， he steps in to win her himself。 John Mark wins and asks Hannah to marry him。 It is a marriage of convenience s Sequel to “Forgotten Memories”， Penny Zeller has another great story。 This time we get John Mark’s story！ He is a Deputy in Poplar Springs， Wyoming。 There he meets Hannah。 Hannah is the daughter of a drunk and gambler。 Hannah’s father is mean and doesn’t let her have any freedom let alone eat much and he hits her。 When John Mark overhears her father gambling her away to another bad guy， he steps in to win her himself。 John Mark wins and asks Hannah to marry him。 It is a marriage of convenience since they just met a couple days ago。 Hannah is so grateful that John Mark would save her from her father。 But just because she left her father doesn’t mean she is safe from all the bad guys， nor is the town。 I love marriage of convenience stories， as long as they are done right， and this one is done right。 What makes this story so good is even though they are married there is no sexual awkwardness they just sleep separate to get to know each other first and it’s not weird。 The slow burn romance is really nice and sweet。 I really appreciate the cleanness of this story and Christian message。 I love John Mark’s hero character， always there to protect and such a nice guy。 Hannah is so sweet and shy。 Also love the little boy Ambrose， he is just adorable with Grumbles the pig。 We see other characters from “Forgotten Memories” as well， Reverend Solomon， Lydie， Caleb， Annie， and Charlotte。 Overall great story and I definitely recommend！ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author。 All views expressed are only my honest opinion。 。。。more

Wow！This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from BookSirens。The story had bits that were heartbreaking to read。 Seriously， the only thing that got me through some parts was knowing there was a happy ending on the other side。 A couple of episodes were expected， but another was not。All of it was realistic， though。 The characters were well done。
